Thoughts on the Camaro V6 1LE?

It wasn't hard at all. I just had to look at it.
Let me know when one makes 1000whp on the stock bottom end...

Tire wear depends on driver, environment, and alignment. MPSS have low heat tolerance and soft shoulders compared to extreme performance summer tires. They aren't designed for 20 minute sessions in 100 degree weather, just daily driving and magazine lap times.

Ahhh while everyone in the thread is talking about road racing, you're over here talking about bench racing. Yeah, a thousand hp is awesomer.

It’s still a V6 Camaro.

I'm not sure about the new engines, but my wife's RS has direct injection. Great powerful motor (I think over 300 HP is a lot, other may disagree) but unlike the FA20 motor that has the port injection AND DI, the RS has only DI and at some point if we keep the car, gunk on the intake valves will be a problem and Chevy is kind of well known for being ****s about warranty if you use a catch can.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

And yet they were fine for me at VIR lapping at competitive speeds.

Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1s were what I used on my S2000 for HPDEs. They were grippier than the MPSS, but neither the Z1/2 is available for the Cayman's stock tire sizes. MPSS are fine at the track - maybe they don't suit your driving style.

This is coming from someone who owns a car that can't even beat a miata in a straight line.

Same old bullshit rhetoric. There is one year that has a marginally faster 0 to 60 and that could be wiped out by driver skill. All the others are far slower.

You realize that those are different generation miatas?

Ummmm ya. Sort of why I had different generations selected. We can go back to the 11 second gens if you like. The statement was "beat by a Miata" not specific to a new one. and a .1 second quarter mile is hardly a game changer anyway.
